Ancient Greeks honoured Rhea, wife of Cronus and mother of several gods and goddesses.

 Nearly 250 years before the birth of Christ, they held ceremonies lasting three days from March 15 through March 18.

 

 

Fast forward across the centuries to England in the 1600s, where "Mothering Sunday," or "Mid-Lent Sunday" was observed on the fourth Sunday in Lent.

 Furmenty, or wheat grains boiled in sweet milk, sugar and spices was the special drink of the day.
